   I'd like to display the category in -text- form so I can adjust the exact CSS for that particulary page.

   Right now I'm just using

   <?php the_category(', ') ?>

   It would be much better if i could

   <a href="<?php the_category(', ') ?>">Category Name</a>

   everything.

   Can anybody help me with this?

   The function can return more then one result..

   So you can't place it inside the href.

   The comma is just the seperator.

   Take a look at what i suggested here.

   wp_list_categories(); is proberly better suited to what you want...

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=6');
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
   <div id="contentslider_menu">
   <div class="contentslider_menubalk_streep">
   <div class="contentslider_menubalk">
   <ul><li>
   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="toc">
   <div class="knop_titel"><p class="wit"><?php the_title(); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="knop_datum"><p class="wit"><?php the_title(); ?>
   </div>
   <div class="knop_category"><p class="wit">Category
   </div>
   </a>
   </li></ul>
   </div></div></div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   I'm using above code, and things like title etc. are working perfect. The problem is that withing this code I only need the -echo- -text- output, because everything is allready in a <a href=""></a> .

   I've tried your solution t31os_, but that still gives me a link-output.

   Isn't there a way to just -echo- -text- the Category Description?

   Use the following in place of Category

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       echo $category->cat_name . ' ';
   }
   ?>

   Perfect, thanks! And for the category.php I used <?php single_cat_title() ?>, works like a charm! Thanks!
